Dear Jon, Thanks for your support. > I'm not clear if you are saying these bugs occur if you have Xwin running when > you dock/undock (i.e. this is a bug in how XWin handles a change in the number > of monitors)? The first not (it always happens when two monitors are connected) The second could have to do with this, yes. This is the procedure: - Start XWin, docked, working with it. - Undock, going to standby, SSH session may die - Wake up without docking (only internal screen) Now all windows are shown on the (non-existent) secondary screen if I open new X programs. Also, I can't even close it because even the Exit Prompt is hidden. > Does restarting XWin after dock/undock still show these problems? Yes, if I kill Xwin via task manager. > Can you please provide your /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log http://pastebin.com/GsSsH1YE > Can you provide a bit more detail about your monitor geometry (i.e. size of > the monitors, is the 'primary' monitor to the left or right of the 'secondary' > monitor)? [ LAPTOP ] [ External Monitor ] When docked: External is primary, Laptop is secondary screen When undocked: Only laptop exists, so this is primary now. Laptop: 1366x768 External Monitor: 1920x1080 Thanks, Lukas -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
